WWE NXT Talent Undergoes ACL Surgery

WWE NXT talent Aria Bennett recently underwent surgery to repair a torn ACL.

Real name Ajiea Lee Hargrave, she joined WWE NXT in October 2023. The 30-year-old former gymnast has predominantly wrestled on NXT live events and for EVOLVE.

Discussing her injury status in a social media post, Bennett wrote:

"Life threw a curveball a few weeks ago…I tore my ACL. And yes it was torn in that dancing video, my surgery was scheduled for a later date.

Funny thing is, I didn't even feel pain when it happened. I kept practicing like nothing was wrong. Found out later it was a full tear.

To protect my mental, I wanted to wait until after surgery to update my followers. At first it was a lot to process, until I started praying and realized God is always working…even when I can't see it.

Keeping things fun and lighthearted has helped me get through the hard times. Laughter really is medicine. This is just one chapter in the story. Right now, it's about healing, trusting the process, and coming back stronger - mind, body, and spirit.

Thank you for all the love, support, and prayers. I'll keep y'all posted on the comeback".

NXT star Noam Dar was recently forced to vacate the Heritage Cup Championship after suffering an injury.
